Near Tbilisi, discover the ancient capital’s history and places central to Georgian Christianity. The programme combines a two-river panorama, a walk in Mtskheta and monasteries with distinct histories and settings.
Jvari and the river confluence
Begin at the 6th-century Jvari church on a hill above the Mtkvari and Aragvi. Take in the river confluence and discuss Georgia’s adoption of Christianity.
Mtskheta and its sanctuaries
Mtskheta includes time for an independent walk around the ancient capital and its UNESCO heritage. At Svetitskhoveli, hear the tradition of Christ’s robe and stories of the kings buried here. Samtavro introduces the life of Saint Nino.
Shiomgvime in the gorge
Continue into the gorge to Shiomgvime Monastery, founded by Assyrian monks. This stop adds a more secluded monastic setting to Mtskheta’s principal sanctuaries.
